Why are some Sneaker Listings granted the free shipping label and some aren't?

I cannot be the only one who has some listings in the listing manager showing the free FedEx label and others where I have to make a label for them. What is going on? Does anyone know any fix?

When eBay announced the FedEx labels, they stipulated a few conditions:

It applies to new and revised listings. If your listings were created before this went into effect in October and you haven't revised them, they won't be eligible for the free FedEx labels.

It applies to listings with handling time of 3 days or less.

Does that help @theoldpedlar?

No, it doesn't. When I'm creating a listing for sneakers, it is roughly a 50/50 chance that I get the free label. Sneaker brands like Gucci, Salomon, and Louis Vuitton don't get the free label automatically.

Hi!

      Maybe you pushed the free shipping button.  Have you tried to change it?

Your new Salomon listings appear to offer the FedEx label because they say, "Includes tracking with eBay shipping." Presumably, "eBay shipping" refers to the eBay-provided FedEx label.

Your recently sold Salomon listing says something different: "Secure delivery with tracking." It also shows that you revised the shipping terms on Jan 6th (item sold Jan 7th) - what kind of changes did you make to shipping before it sold?
